“DISORIENTED CLUB GEN”

This machine was informed by my understanding of a lot of club music: 4 bars of drum pattern with slight variation in the 4th bar. The machine “randomly” selects a drum pattern and plays the pattern with a slight variation in the 4th bar (I put randomly in quotes because there is some higher level thinking about which to choose). Additionally, the sounds of the kick and hats change from 4 bars to 4 bars. This was inspired by an artist I was listening to recently who seemed to change the sound of the drum elements every section, to a really cool effect.

I added the drone and the riser to create motion and situate the machine in a particular space: a dystopia where everyone is left to rave, where disorientation is called out for by the people in earnest; they want anything that will help them forget and escape their misery.
